The bleachers are finally getting their upgrade.
Going to be pretty spectacular when it's done.
After all these upgrades Marshall will have the best stadium in the district with Jacksonville coming in second.

Are they putting in new bleachers or are they putting in the seat back chairs? It will definitely put Maverick Stadium near the top of the list in our district and one of the best in East Texas. I still think Pine Tree has the best stadium in the district even though the visitors side is kind of small and the traffic flow in and out is so bad. Jacksonville would be #1 if the parking wasn't such a nightmare. But if I had to rank the stadiums in our district now I'd say Pine Tree, Jacksonville, Marshall, Hallsville, Mount Pleasant, Texas High, Whitehouse, and Nacogdoches. I wonder when they are going to upgrade the concessions?

I wonder when they are going to upgrade the concessions? I've heard they will be installing RED stadium chairs on the home side.... I don't know if it's the entire homeside...or just certain sections. They will be doing a new concessions area on the home side after the season. I haven't heard about the concessions on the visitors side. ----------- Pine Tree has a great stadium....but they aren't in our district anymore. They will be in 4A next season. Jacksonville does have a fantastic facility... but like you said..... the parking is horrendous. If I was going to rate the stadiums in the district after current renovations are complete..... 1. Jacksonville- best turf in ETX. Clean. Great scoreboard and concessions. But the parking is pitiful 2. Marshall- one of the largest stadiums in the district. All the upgrades put it near the top. Plenty of parking. Concrete needs powerwashing. 3. Mount Pleasant- Nothing fancy. But it's clean and easy to get in and out of. Parking is meh. 4. Texas High- This would be #3 if it weren't for the concrete seats. Rough neighborhood too. But the atmosphere is one of the best out there. 5. Hallsville- Boring. But it works. Small visitor's side. Can be LOUD when it's full. 6. Nacogdoches- recent upgrades bumped them up one notch. No atmosphere. But the new turf and scoreboard are nice. Smallest home side in the district? 7. Whitehouse- It's an overgrown Judson Middle school Stadium. Zzzzzzz.

I'll believe it when I see it about the stadium chairs! Good news about the new concession stands. I forgot about Pine Tree dropping down. I'll agree that we will have one of the top stadiums in the region when everything is done.

Are they going to put shrubs in front of the new fence or will there be fountains?

Are the Red Stadium seats going to be installed for this coming season?

I saw in the newspaper this morning that they school board is meeting today to vote on several things about the stadium, but they didn't list what specifically. Everything is seems secretive. Maybe we will have some news in the next day or two. Mavchamp hasn't posted anything on the board or twitter in a while. I don't know if he's busy or there just isn't any news. I hope all is well with him.

I've been posting on twitter.....not much to say this time of the year. Students are just working out and enjoying the summer. The webpage is about to get a HUGE addition in the historical section. I hope everyone likes it. I should be MOSTLY done with it in a few weeks. Biggest addition the webpage has had in many years. Pretty excited about it.

Sounds like it's going to be more than just the new seats. The newspaper said multiple propositions, but they didn't name what they were. I'm guessing they are planning on updating the concessions and the restrooms. I know they updated the restrooms two years ago, but I think they are going with a new build on both sides and doing away with the original restrooms. Hopefully they are going to do something with the concrete stands too. Needs lots of attention. How old is Maverick Stadium?

Not to mention it was incorrect in saying it was being paid for by bond money, when the district is using the general fund to pay for it. Maverick Stadium is 44 year old this year. First game was on September 12, 1980 Vs. Corsicana

I've seen the video of the stadium on twitter and facebook, but the it doesn't show the red seats in the video. And the article just says bleachers. Are the red seats not going to be a thing?

I saw the same thing and agree the red stadium seats definitely is not shown and not mentioned in the narrative I read. But was told by someone that should know they are included, just not for this year.
Edit: I have now been informed that The Red Stadium Seats have NOT been approved by the Board at this time, although that is a possible idea, but is NOT approved at this time.

With or without the stadium chairs....Maverick Stadium will be one of the premier stadiums in East Texas.
But I wouldn't be shocked to see it happening before this is all said and done with.

Doesn't make sense to do all this work but skimp on the little things that matter. Who in our district has stadium chairs? Hallsville, Mount Pleasant, PT, Jacksonville? I can't remember about Nac.

It will be worth the wait when it's all done.
The upgrades this season are great. But the new concessions/food truck area/rest rooms are going to be NEXT LEVEL in 2025.
Maverick Stadium will be a top 3 stadium in all of East Texas when it's all done.

Wouldn't it be cheaper to do it all at once? We are going to get all this expensive work done and finished then come back and have more construction after its finished? That makes zero sense.

BE PATIENT.
MHS and Maverick Stadium are going to be spectacular when they are done.
The School isn't even close to be done and it already looks like a completely different facility.
